You never know what treasures can be found in someone's
attic. Unfortunately for bookbinder Brooklyn Wainwright,
some of them are worth killing for.
Brooklyn Wainwright is thrilled to be appearing on the San
Francisco edition of the hit TV show This Old Attic as a
rare-book expert and appraiser. Her first subject is a very
valuable first-edition copy of the classic children's story
The Secret Garden, which is owned by a flower vendor named
Vera.
Once she hears what her book is worth, Vera is eager to have
Brooklyn recondition it for resale. But after the episode
airs, a furious man viciously accosts Brooklyn, claiming
that Vera found the first edition at his garage sale, and he
wants it back-or else. Brooklyn is relieved that she's put
The Secret Garden in a safe place, but Randolph Rayburn, the
handsome host of This Old Attic, is terrified by the man's
threats. He confides in Brooklyn that he fears he is being
stalked. He doesn't know who might have targeted him, or
why.
In the days that follow, several violent incidents occur on
the set, and Brooklyn is almost killed, leaving both her and
her security expert boyfriend, Derek, shaken. Is someone
after Brooklyn and the book? Or has Randolph's stalker
become more desperate? And then Brooklyn visits Vera's
flower shop-and discovers her dead. Is the murderer one of
the two obvious suspects, or is something more sinister-even
bizarre-going on? Brooklyn had better find the clever killer
soon or more than her chance at prime time may be
canceled-permanently.
